How to Calculate SBI FD Interest Rates

The interest you can earn on your deposited amount depends on multiple factors, including the amount invested, tenure, rate of interest, interest computation frequency, and taxation. To calculate the interest earned on your FD can be a bit taxing if you are doing it with pen and paper. Instead, use an online SBI FD interest rate calculator to know the amount you can earn after maturity.

The entire process is simple and hassle-free. All you need to do is enter your SBI fixed deposit account details, including the amount, interest rate, and tenure, to know how much you can earn over the course of time. Here's an example.

Illustration

Suppose you have put Rs.1 lakh in your SBI FD account for a period of 5 years. The applicable interest rate is 5.30% p.a. Upon maturity, on an annual compounding frequency, you can earn Rs.30,000 as interest, thereby bringing the maturity amount to Rs.1.3 lakh.

Things to Remember

Interest won't be paid for deposits less than 7 days
